Mo, glad you brought this up as it bears repeating for those of us who
are seeking alternatives as I too am.
I did some internet research and it seems that Netgear gets high marks
in the Mac-friendliness category. So does Zoom, but not as easy to set
up.
My brother uses a Netgear with his cable connection so his daughter
can use her laptop wirelessly, and as far as compatibility with the
TiBook Airport Card, stay tuned until after September 6th and I can
tell you if it flew........
Right now I use a regular old Netgear "hub", and no one can tell me if
it is really an actual HUB or a ROUTER or both, but I just know it does
the job of putting more than one of my many Macs online at
once...without any sort of configuration.
However, it is not wireless and I am first going to try to use the
Card-To-Card type of connection (software router) without Airport BS
before I buy a wireless device.
